In the 1960s, 14-year old Walter Coleman (Haley Joel Osment) goes to live with his bachelor uncles, who are rumored to have a secret fortune. When they first arrive, Hub and Garth McCann (Robert Duvall, Michael Caine) are knee-deep in their pond, shooting at bass with shotguns. Walter’s cousins, also strong believers in the fortune, arrive a day after his mother leaves to ingratiate themselves into the good graces of Hub and Garth. They scare Walter away, and he runs to telephone the court reporting school where his mother had claimed to have gone. He discovers that she is not actually enrolled at the school, but has lied — again. With no recourse but to return to his uncles’ farm, Walter eventually becomes used to their quirky, socially atypical mannerisms and they become used to him and his shyness.
While encouraging them to eat vegetables and stop shooting at visiting salesmen, he becomes aware of his uncles’ mysterious past. Garth reveals to him that he and Hub were adventurers beginning in World War I. Hub and Garth arrived in France the day that Germany invaded the country. Garth believed they should return home, but Hub proposed that they tour Europe just ahead of the invading armies. On their last night in France, after enjoying the local nightlife in Marseilles with two French soldiers, they find themselves shanghaied on a ship, conscripted into the French Foreign Legion. The two brothers fought in many battles, and Hub saved Garth’s life several times, in many different battles. Following their army service, Garth became a guide in Africa, while Hub helped anybody who deserved it. Hub meets and falls in love with Jasmine (Emmanuelle Vaugier), a beautiful princess. She, however, was promised to be a powerful sheik’s wife. Hub rescues Jasmine from the sheik, who then puts a bounty of ten thousand gold pieces on Hub’s head. Garth, disguised as a bounty hunter, turns Hub in for the reward, whereupon Hub duels the sheik and wins. Having earned the sheik’s respect, the assassination attempts stop. Later, the sheik makes his fortune in the petroleum trade.
Meanwhile, Hub, Garth, and Walter have adventures of their own. They order an aging lioness from a circus animal dealer. Walter adopts and names the lioness Jasmine, thereby keeping Hub from killing her. Hub and Garth frighten off Walter’s cousins and purchase a clay pigeon thrower, a succession of ever-larger boats, and a biplane. Hub gets into a fight with several greasers within an hour after having a heart attack, wins the fight, drives them back to the farm, then feeds them (after hunting for the lioness, which escaped), and gives them a lecture on what it means to be a real man. Walter subsequently finds that his uncles have been hiding their money in a room beneath their barn. Read more
